Can u tell me best website from where i can get information about human rights in india?
The situation of human rights in India is a complex one, as a result of the country’s large size and tremendous diversity, its status as a developing country, and its history as a former colonial territory. It is often held, particularly by Indian human rights groups and activists, that members of the Dalit or Untouchable caste have suffered and continue to suffer substantial discrimination. Although human rights problems do exist in India, the country is generally not regarded as a human rights concern, unlike other countries in South Asia. India also has an influential, independent and vibrant media which has played a crucial role in upholding human rights in India.
